In January 2017 of the Board of Trustees for MPC approved a new strategic IT plan for the school.  The Technology Plan was developed to improve the overall student experience and learning environment at Monterey Peninsula College (MPC). The goal is to enhance student success by providing a high level of accessibility, service and support through the utilization of current technology.

This three year strategic plan sets forth a road map for technology enhancements at MPC. This Technology Plan, aligned with the goals and objectives of the five-year Education Master Plan, identifies the current technology needs at MPC and, to the extent possible, anticipates future technology needs. When possible, this plan lays out the means and steps necessary to meet those needs and the strategy to ensure that MPC resources support the delivery of high quality technology.

Some of the  key technology needs addressed in this plan include: replacing the Student Information System, implementing an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, redesigning the MPC intranet, implementing a technology refreshment plan, upgrading campus WiFi, enhancing core network infrastructure and developing a disaster preparedness/recovery plan.

The MPC Technology Plan is a living document that will be reviewed periodically by the Technology Committee and updated as needed. Major revisions of this document will be performed as necessary based on major revisions of dependent documents, such as the Institutional Goals, Educational Master Plan, Strategic Initiatives and/or College Mission. Ongoing meetings with individuals, shared governance committees, and functional area groups, as well as campus-wide surveys will be some of the methods used to continue to gather data.
